Call for action on UK’s screenwriter gender inequality – BBC News

The number of female writers working for film and television in the UK has not improved in the last 10 years, a new report suggests.
Across the whole industry, just one in six screenwriters is a woman.
Only one in 10 feature films is written chiefly by a woman, the figure dropping even lower for those with a budget greater than £10m – to just one in 14.
The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, which commissioned the report, is calling for change in the industry.
